Man both Johns gave enough fodder for worst and I actually liked JPL early in the contest but he never amounted to what I thought he would. Camille did a number or two that was pretty bad. Leah...Jasmine...even poor Diana made me cringe a few times early and in the middle of the final 12; she cleaned up a lot better towards the latter stages though.

I haven't seen most of season 1, so I'll omit that from my picks. I won't bother with semi-finalists, I'll just go with the top 12. These are in no particular order either...

SEASON 2:
1. "Let's Groove Tonight" by Ricky Smith -- WHOO! Thought this guy was adorable and sweet, but OUCH. It was so out of tune!

2. "And So it Goes" by Carmen Rasmussen -- Never saw much in this girl, but this week is what really did it for me. She absolutely destroyed this Billy Joel classic.

3. "Everything I Do" by Kim Caldwell -- Like Carmen, I never saw much in Kim Caldwell either. I think her problem w/this song is that a) I just can't see it on a girl, and b) it was just way too flat.

4. "That's When I'll Stop Loving You" by Josh Gracin -- I never had a problem with Josh like most others did, I thought he was okay, but wow, I think he hit rock bottom the week he sang this. And didn't he say that he used to sing this to his wife?

5. "Drift Away" by Corey Clark -- So wrong. Just.... wrong.

SEASON 3:
1. "Crocodile Rock" by John Stevens -- Always thought this kid was a charmer, but after the abyssmal "My Girl," he followed up later on with this catastrophe. Those laaa's will forever give me chills of discomfort.

2. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Camille Velasco -- I just never saw anything in this contestant. Her voice was just not right for this song, it sounded like she was crying instead of singing during the long ahhhh's.

3. "She Believes in Me" by JPL -- I was never completely against this guy, but his main problem, IMO, was that he never found his own style, he always imitated the artist he sang. This song in particular was one of his worst.

4. "You Keep Me Hanging On" by Leah LaBelle -- Supremes do not sound good on Leah. I'm not sure if it was her nerves or what, but she was definitely capable of better.

5. "It's Raining Men" by Jasmine Trias -- Oh, Jasmine. I do like you, but this song was just not for you. Nice cover-up for the lyrics and you're still a gorgeous girl, but this song was just not right.

For me too many to name and many have already been mentioned but special recognition must be given to Josh Gracin's country-twanged version of Celebration. Kool & the Gang should have sued for malicious destruction of property for Josh's rendition. Man that was just horrible, but curiously I think it might have been entertaining to see how bad Gracin would have butchered Get Down on It

BTW, this season has had some really ear destroying notes but I think the worse might have been John Stevens' La La La La with the first La just being so bad that it will be in infamy for all time
